- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper

Instructions
-
Marinate — Soak the chicken in buttermilk with salt and pepper for at least 1 hour (overnight is better).
-
Dredge — Mix flour, paprika, and garlic powder. Dredge each piece of chicken, pressing the flour on so it sticks. Let rest 5 minutes for a crispier crust.
-
Fry — Heat oil to 350°F in a deep skillet. Fry chicken in batches, skin-side down first, for 6-8 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (165°F internal). Drain on a wire rack.
-
Glaze — While still hot, drizzle generously with B-Rad's Habanero Hot Honey. The heat of the chicken melts the honey into a glossy glaze.
-
Serve — Garnish with habanero rings. The sweet honey, fiery habanero, and savory garlic hit every note. 🍗🔥
